micro to macro

Slide 1: . ZOOM POWERS OF 10 FROM MICRO TO MACRO COSMOS
Slide 2: This is a trip at high speed, jumping distances by a factor of 10. We’ll start with 100 (equivalent to 1 meter), and will increase the size by a factor of 10, or 101 (10 meters), 102 (10x10 = 100 meters, 103 (10x10x10 = 1,000 meters), 104 (10x10x10x10 = 10,000 meters), so on, until we reach the limit of our imagination in the direction of the macro cosmos. Later we’ll return, a little faster, back to the point where we started & continue our trip in the opposite direction reducing distances of travel by factors of 10 into the micro cosmos. We will observe the constancy of the laws of the universe and think about how much the human race still needs to learn...

Slide 18: 1014 100 Billion km The Solar System starts looking small...
Slide 19: The Sun now is a small star in the middle of thousands of stars... 1015 1 Trillión km
Slide 20: At one light-year the little Sun star is very small 1016 1 light-year
Slide 21: Here we will see nothing in the infinity.... 1017 10 light-years
Slide 22: “Nothing” Only stars and Nebulae... 1018 100 light-years
Slide 23: 1019 1,000 light-years At this distance we are travelling in the Via-Láctea (Milky Way), our galaxy.
Slide 24: We continue our travel inside the Via-Láctea (Milky Way) 1020 10,000 light-years
Slide 25: We begin reaching the periphery of the Via-Láctea(Milky Way) 1021 100,000 light-years
Slide 26: At this tremendous distance we can see the entire Via-Láctea (Milky Way) & other galáxies as well ... 1022 1 Millión light-years
Slide 27: From this distance, all the galaxies look small with immense empty spaces in between.The same laws are ruling all bodies of the Universe. We could continue traveling upwards with our imagination, but now let’s return home quickly 1023 - 10 Million light-years
Slide 28: 1022

Slide 41: 109
Slide 42: 108
Slide 43: 107
Slide 44: 106
Slide 45: 105
Slide 46: 104 Questions that come to mind ... Who are we? Where are we going? Where did we come from?
Slide 47: 103 Or... What do we represent in the Universe?
Slide 48: 102 In this trip “upwards” we went to the power of 23 of 10
Slide 49: 101 Now we are going to dig inside of matter in a reverse (inverse) trip...
Slide 50: We arrive at our starting point. We could touch it with our hands ... 100
Slide 51: Getting closer at 10 cm ...We can delineate the leaves. 10-1 10 Centímeters
Slide 52: At this distance it is possible to observe the structure of the leaf. 10-2 1 Centímeter
Slide 53: The cellular structures begin to show... 10-3 1 Millímeter
Slide 54: The cells can be delineated. You can see the union between them. 10-4 100 microns
Slide 55: Starting our trip inside the cell ... 10-5 10 microns
Slide 56: The nucleus of the cell is visible. 10-6 1 micrón
Slide 57: Again we changed the measuring unit to adapt to the miniscule size. You can see the chromosomes. 10-7 100 Nanometers
Slide 58: In this micro universe the DNA chain is visible. 10-8 10 Nanometers
Slide 59: ...the chromosóme blocks can be observed. 10-9 1 Nanometer
Slide 60: It appears like clouds of electrons... These are carbon átoms that formed our world. You should notice the resemblance of the micro cosmos with the macro cosmos ... 10-10 1 Angstrom
Slide 61: In this miniature world we could observe the electrons orbiting the atoms. 10-11 10 Picometers
Slide 62: An immense empty space between the nucleus and the electron orbits... 10-12 1 Picómeter
Slide 63: At this incredible and minuscule size we could observe the nucleus of the atom. 10-13 100 Femtómeters
Slide 64: Now we could observe the nucleus of the carbon atom 10-14 10 Femtómeters
Slide 65: Here we are in the field of the scientific imagination, face to face with a proton. 10-15 1 Femtómeter
Slide 66: Examine the ‘quark’ partícules There is nowhere further to go...We are at the limits of current scientific knowledge . This is the limit of matter... 10-16 100 Attómeters
Slide 67: And now ... Are you the center of the universe? Are you the special creature of the Creatión? What is behind the limits? Are there any limits? Note that going downwards we could only go to the power of minus 16ª of 10 to reach the (known?) limits of matter... But upwards we went to the power of 23ª of 10 and stopped... But we could have continued our trip subject only to the limits to our imagination!!!! ... then? ... Who says that we are alone in the universe?
Slide 68: Hope you enjoyed the trip. The End!
